Coleton Fishacre

We went to Coleton Fishacre yesterday at Kingswear, a former summer retreat of Richard D'Oyly Carte, founder of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company. When we got home my Digital Photo mag had arrived, with instructions for this technique. Well, I couldn't resist . So here's an image of this lovely house, and the original full colour version is up as V2 (sorry, very chocolate box, but just so pretty!).

Thanks for all your C&C on Dartington Hall Gardens, very much appreciated . And thank you for stopping today.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

[quote] V1-- very clever wor, but I find it distracting [/quote] Think I agree Jenn, lol! It's not really very easy on the eye, is it? But it was fun to do!

Chocolate box is good. I never tire of these lovely garden scenes.
You did a fine job of the PS, it's always good to try new techniques. I can see some interesting applications for it.
I'm old fashioned, so today I'll take v2.

Thanks Chris - it is a great technique.... for the design boys, people in marketing and so on. For me it was just a bit of fun - the instructions were there and I just had to try it out ;). But it's not exactly the sort of thing you'd want to hang on your wall, lol!

Been trying to do the chocolate box thing for a long time, more examples like V2 could propel me nearer. V1 is one of those wonderful techniques (rather well executed) that has me wondering how to do that in a darkroom.

Lol! It would have me wondering [i]why [/i]you'd want to do it!! It is really a rather pointless exercise, with little to do with photography, but it filled a half hour or so while the dinner was cooking yesterday :D:D

Thanks Geoff, Mandy and Barbara

Ah well, even if it were good enough, I wouldn't be allowed to cos it's a National Trust property and they have rules about stuff like that :(.
